Whether in data collection, fan interaction, training management, or sports medicine—the impact of digitalization and innovation is evident throughout the sports context. This book explores the exciting intersection of sports science, digitalization, and innovation, explaining how innovative technologies have revolutionized sports and will continue to do so in the future.

The content covers a wide range of topics, including innovation management, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, augmented reality, as well as case studies and practical examples related to sports and sports science. These, in turn, span various fields such as physical education teacher training, school sports, senior sports, as well as club and professional sports.

For coaches, professional athletes, managers, educators, scientists, students, and technology enthusiasts, this book is an indispensable reference for successfully navigating the modern sports environment.

The translation of the German book ‚Digitalisierung und Innovation im Sport und in der Sportwissenschaft‘ was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. Chapters 3, 14, 19, and 25 had originally been published in English and were therefore not translated/modified; however, they were included in the English edition for completeness
